User:Cezxmer/Pileati

A pileatus (pl. pileati) was a representative of the aristocracy in the Dacian social order. Pileati are also known by the name used by the Romans to designate them, tarabostes (sg. taraboste, a less common form).

The Pileati constitute one of the two social classes of the Dacians, the other being the common people, the comati. The name 'pileati' is due to the caps worn by the aristocrats.
